Almeria - International Rally

La Garrofa (campsite)South of Almería

A Unimog with a caravan on the back -  a nice couple from Jersey



We stayed at this campsite just south of Almeria, we took the bus into the city for the afternoon and had a wander round, the cities are starting to all look the same (with the exception of Barcelona),  later we visited the campsite bar purely for research purposes and people watching.  Although the campsite was very compact, it was well equipped with hot showers & washing facilities. The highlight of our stay was the arrival of the  Intercontinental Rally Team and support vehicles with members from all over Europe, who were starting the rally at Almeria port and heading across to North Africa and onto Dakar (Senegal).  They had the look of the famous Paris Dakar Rally.  (Si was extremely jealous) “I want to take part next year” only if the boss will let me!!

Looks like they have a couple of stowaways in their kit
